Heh.  I once worked on a C++ project that included its own crypo code 
(i.e. custom implementations of things like AES and SHA-1).  The person 
who wrote some particular bit of the code had decided that deliberately 
obfuscating the function and variable names would somehow make it more 
secure, so that's what he did.

The mind boggles.  At so many levels.
